Skype wifi hotspots list location needed

Hi all,
I am trying to use the skype wifi access feature but all the hotspots that I though could work are not supported by skype. And I browse for all I though could help in this forum and always ended up in the same welcome site. .../allfeatures/skype-acess
some else even ask this same question and summed up in a way I laugh so hard, that I will repeat it. Because no one replay that question. So, where is the list of all location of hotspots that support the feature to connect using my skype credit. Because a million worldwide are not really much of a help.
Cheers
Oscar.

  • Is Skype WiFi hotspot list on map view out yet?

    I was looking for WiFi's location list, and I found that on the pricing list of Skype WiFi page there are given the names of the hotspot providers.
    But I don't think that only name can help you to locate the place.
    What I was looking for is map view of hotspot location..
    I read somewhere that work was in progress on it.
    So is it progressed till now or shall we have to wait further?

    @Neil: Thanks for sharing, but what is really - in the case you describe - the point of using Skype Credit instead of just paying normally for the pay hotspot that WiFI Finder has brought you to? Is it much cheaper, easier etc.? If not I'lll spare myself for the inconvenience of transfering money to my Skype account (and thereby paying in advance) - and just use the pay and free hotspots that WiFi will locate for me.    Regards,Anders

  • Is Skype WiFi a joke or fraud?

    I installed Skype WiFi on my Galaxy Tab 3 yesterday and bought $3 dollas' worh of Skype credit. 
    I can't find any hotspot in Northbrook, which is a norther suburb of Chicago. 
    I am disappointed with Skype, which is a subsidiary of Microsoft. 
    Whatever Microsoft does appears to be a joke.

    Hey. I'm not in any way affiliated with skype, but about 10 minutes of Googling got me this.

    Apparently Skype doesn't have its own hotspots. Rather, whenever you connect to a hotspot owned by another business, if they have a partnership with Skype, then you can pay for your time using Skype credit. (I think it's mostly popular in airports or something.)

  • Purpose of Skype Wifi

    Does anyone actually know what Skype wifi is actually for? Its obvously not for gaining internet access at hot spots. I have yet to find a single hotspot that supported it. And everything about it seems to be a catch 22
    And none of the moderators seem to want to admit it. It took this guy 4 pages worth of post for him to finally jump in to say there are no list of locations or coverage maps
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Other-features/skype-wifi-hotspots-list-location-needed/m-p/1449417/hi...
    and if I ever find a hotspot that supports it I am going to be up a creek anyway

    Make sure that your WiFi is turned on and you’re connected to a WiFi network. Then, sign in to Skype."
    How the Hell are you suppose to use Skype wifi if I need to be logged in before I can use it? Thats like saying "You need to have internet access before you can have internet access" Is skype wifi a Joke? an april fools prank that never got removed?
    From start to finish can someone give a use case senario where Skype Wifi actually works and is not just a joke?
    Thanks in Advance
    Solved!

    I have never tried the App on a phone as of yet. But on my laptop I HAVE to have an active internet connection BEFORE I can log into skype. is that different for the mobile version of skype? but If I understand you properly from the other thread
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Other-features/Skype-WiFi-an-access-tool-only-Do-not-confuse-with-WiFi...
    What Everyone on the skype site means to say is the Provider provides a logon, unrelated to skype, that uses the skype password and username? I understand the difference between wifi and service. What I believe I am misunderstanding is why I would need to pay for service "Which I need to be able to log into skype under normal circumstances" when, if I am able to log into skype I must already have service being provided to me ... does that make sense? If that is the case then I have a valid q. If not Then I am wrong and you are completely right KillerHeelsUK and I am just an idiot who has failed to understand what you are trying to say.
    kudos to you by the way for posting to the right thread rather than making a new one btw

    Has anyone has this issue before or know how I can fix this issue?  Also is there a contact email address to skype, I can't seem to finsd any way to actually conmtact Skype about this issue.

    Hello Paul,
    First of all, please make sure that your apps get updated automatically on your Surface Pro 2, you can follow these steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows-8/automatic-app-updates-help
    The pre-installed Skype Wifi application via Store needs to to be updated in order to take advantage of the Surface 2 offer.
    Please let us know if it's working after the update.

  • Suffolk County NY - Dearth of WiFi Hotspots

    There are only 5 Skype WiFi hotspots in the entirty of Suffolk County, NY. This suburban county of New York City is hope to nearly 20-million. Are there any plans to expand WiFi service?

  • HT4972 my ipad3 doesn't have the wifi hotspot option in the list in settings

    I have taken delivery of an iPad3 64G 4G.
    In the list on the left in settings - there is no item for setting the iPad as a WiFi hotspot.
    I went to a phone shop. They had a new iPad3 there with the same firmware settings etc. The option was in the list - I think the 3rd or 4th from the top.
    Why hasn't my machine got this option? Supposed to be on ALL 3G and 4G machines as far as I know?
    Thanks.

    It's impossible for anyone here to be able to tell your carrier what they need to do to enable their own features. Call your carrier again and keep going up the ladder of support until you find someone who knows what "personal hotspot" or "tethering" means and who understand their own systems.
    By the way, you replied to a thread that's been inactive for almost nine months now. That's usually not a good strategy for getting a quick reply. It's most often going to be more effective to start a new thread rather than replying to one that's quite old and inactive.

  • I'm traveling to Hawaii and wondering if my iPad will work? I have wifi on it but do I need to turn it into a wifi hotspot?

    I need help to figure this out b4 I leave on Monday.

    Turning your iPad into a WiFi Hotspot, is only necessary if you are needing to share WiFi with other devices, if your iPad is already connected to WiFi or Cellular etc..
    Ask the Hotel where you are staying for their WiFi information for Guests and connect to their WiFi Network in the list that shows up in iPads WiFi Settings.

  • Do I need BOTH Skype and Skype WIFI apps for my iphone?

    it was stated, the difference is with skype wifi, you can use your credit you bought on skype to pay for wifi access in hotels, etc.
    therefore you don't need skype wifi if you have infetnet or free wifi.
    what is so hard to understand?

    That's how I understood the answer. Using the 'normal' Skype app you can use 3G or WiFi (depending on my settings). If WiFi access needs to be paid for (on a train, through a hotel, etc.), it often comes in minimum 1 hour blocks, in which case Skype WiFi allows you to access WiFi just for the duration of the Skype call, providing you have sufficient Skype credit.There are two reasons why you might want to do this: (a) even though you might have your phone service set to 'Roaming', calls in or out might not work (happens to me all the time in the Middle East); and (b) you only pay for your actual call time. Whether that represents overall value for money depends on Skype call rates versus the 1-hour charge from the train, hotel, etc., so that element is worth checking.As to 'most WiFI hotspots being free', that may be true for much of urban Europe and the US, but it's not true for large parts of the rest of the world.

  • Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

    Thanks

    Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier.  You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan.  Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

  • Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my iPad 3 wifi.  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my refurbished iPad 3 wifi?  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    I'm having the same problem.  The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
    I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.

  • Skype wifi skeptic

    does skype wifi charge if your using already connected wifi connections like my home broadband connection...i am connected on my tablet via wifi to the internet, signed in to skype, but NOT signed into skype wifi...does this make sense don't wanna get charged for wifi that is mine or friends and family or cafe etc have given. me the password to use their wifi with...plus I haven't added any skype credit as far as I know.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is a use case:
    You are travelling a lot and looking for cheap and reliable ways of connecting to internet at various location to check your emails/chats/news etc.
    You discover Skype WiFi. You then install it, say, on your Android device and purchase some Skype Credit through www.skype.com
    You are in the airport and need internet.
    You connect to, say, Boingo hotspot in your device WiFi settings, launch Skype WiFi and click Connect. That's it. You get internet connection in your device. Once you've finished all your tasks, just click Disconnect in the app.
    That's pretty much it.

  • Free Verizon WiFi HotSpots Now On-Line

    It looks like Verizon has turned on the ability to register for access to free Verizon WiFi HotSpots.
    Verizon Wi-Fi for High Speed Internet Verizon Wi-Fi* is a free service that enables qualified Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers to access the internet at thousands of public places known as Wi-Fi hotspots. This wireless service is not intended to be used from your home, but to be used while on-the-go.
    Here is the URL:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed​/Networking/SetUp/WiFi/124611.htm?LOBCode=C&PromoT​...
    It requires a 20MB Download or better FIOS Plan or 3MB or better DSL Plan
    Verizon Wi-Fi is available with select High Speed Internet packages and in designated locations only. The service requires Windows Vista or Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 3. Verizon Wi-Fi is not available on Macintosh, Windows XP 64-bit, or Windows 7 operating systems.

    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the "Kudos" button.

    Totally agree...I was excited that Verizon was finally allowing free Wifi access for premium high speed subscribers (something AT$T offered over a year ago) but this was short lived after finding out that my netbook running Linux  (Ubuntu) was not on the list of operating systems (an extremley short list) I assume this will change and they want to get to all of their primary OS users out of the way first. Disappointing to say the least. There are alot of your subscribers that are looking for alternatives to the infamous "Windows" especially on their mobile devices. I hope they will provide these users with options as well.

  • Using skype on skype wifi while in Japan for calls...

    I am subscribed to us and canada plan here in the U.S.
    I always call Japanese number from here with skype to go number (U.S. number) and it will charge a couple of cents/minute. 
    If I take my iphone to Japan and call on skype wifi, does it still work the same (as far as the rate) or do I need japanese skype to go number because I'll be in Japan?
    Of course, I'd have to pay for skype wifi but I think it's cheaper than buying it in japan.
    I thought wherever I am, the subscription control the way it is charged.
    Thanks.

    When calling via Skype it matters only where you're calling to.  It doesn't matter where you're calling from.
    You may find Skype WiFi helpful as long as you understand it's to pay for not-for-free public wifi hotspots.   If you have free wifi available you can still use your subscriptions and don't need Skype WiFi.
